I noticed the axles too but not the air bags. Good eye. Rotors look really good by the way!

Check them out on their web site. The rotors are different thinknesses. The fronts are about an 1/8 inch or more thicker than the back. Also people run only one air bag on the passenger side bacause most of the torque from the engine is put on that side. If you have ever noticed a car that launchs hard it squats to the passenger side. The airbag is to help in that by keeping the rear end level allowing better traction at launch. Honestly, I did not know that I had one on my car untill I removed the wheel. I called the previous owner and he explained it to me.

Most people don't need them as their motors don't produce enough torque to actually squat over..but they don't hurt anything either.

So Massin-any 1/4 mile tracks around you a dyno to see what kinda power your car has??

The closest 1/4 mile track to me is in Muncie, Indiana. I plan on getting there when it gets warmer. I have not got to a dyno yet. Mainly because I want to add a few more goodies. Right now I am still running the stock 48mm throttle body. My boss has promised me that she will get me a new Holley 58mm for Father's Day.

I want some other stuff but my family comes before anything else. This is a car that I have always wanted and I finally got. It is purely a toy for me!

When I get some number I will post them along with videos. Here is what it looks like for now under the hood. It is still dirty from being put up for winter.
